This is my favourite book in the series...so far. Wow! What an action packed ride, nearly from cover to cover. The stakes were high, and Earth did her best to fight off the attacking force.

There are many who dislike Captain Eric Weston. He's brash. He does unpredictable things, but NO one can say that he doesn't get the job done. No one, not even his enemies. He just, some how, finds a way to do it. Like a true Marine...Semper Fi or Semper fidelis is a Latin phrase that means "always faithful" or "always loyal". It is the motto of the United States Marine Corps, usually shortened to Semper Fi. It is also in use as a motto for towns, families, schools, and other military units.

The Dranis are no longer under the control of the Empire. That is a chaotic force in the universe...which is NO good for Earth, Priminae, the Empire or anyone else.

Still do not know what the "red band" that the Dranis drones could disobey direct orders, turn on their captures, and attack without direction towards Earth, to rid the universe of the "red band" that is prevelant there. Hmmm?

I have to admit that near and at the end...I cried. I am not ashamed. I have been sucked into these storylines and especially one of the main protagonists...and it hurts. It really does hurt.

I don't know what Stephanos will say? Or Samuels? Or Roberts? Or even the newly appointed President? 

I am anxious to pick up the next book, but I've got a few that I've put in front of it. I need to unpack some things that happened in this story...and I need a breather.

Great book. I hope more people can get to THIS moment...for it was well worth it.
